So, the current FR archive release prompted me to try and get PoR ROMD running on WIN 7.

I was plagued by the Transparent Characters bug and today I found a fix for it, so if this is an issue you have faced and found no solution, this worked for me.

Ive been playing this for a fair bit now and Im enjoying it alot, Ive just about cleared the first floor of the dungeon at the start and Im quite impressed.
Initially I was a bit disappointd with my characters continually missing but at lv 3 and with better weapons fights end more quickly.
Its quite a sprawling dungeon exploration too, This can be good and bad, Sometimes you dont know where to go next and sometimes how to actually how to get there if you know where to go, but with perseverance you get there and get quite pleased with yourself when you figure it out.

Its disappointng not to be able to find any maps on the internet because the in game map can be a tad vague and any walkthroughs are a wall of text and pretty pointless in such a sprawling affair, but on saying that, the process of discovery is one of the more enjoyable factors.
Level ups are few and far between, it uses the 3rd edition rules and can seem quite a bare bones experience, but I think its better for it compared to some modern lootfests.

Its well worth a try if you are hankering after a bit of dungeoneering.

For those that happen to stumble upon this: Using dgVoodoo2 also works. See the full guide [url=https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Pool_of_Radiance:_Ruins_of_Myth_Drannor#Invisible_objects_and_transparent_characters]here[/url]

This worked for me on Windows 10, solution in original post did not. Thank you.

Same for me. Thanks a lot, nianiania!
